This is not a very good picture of my finished quilt top, but it's ready batting for a backing. I started making these 8.5" blocks midway through last year's RSC and needed 48 for a nice little quilt. The blocks are sashed with Kona white 2" strips and 2" cornerstone squares. The 3" green border pulls together and calms the scrappy blocks. I have a yellow print for the backing. Hopefully I'll quilt and bind this quilt top this week and post pictures of the finished quilt next week. I also have a few red project in progress that I'll finish and show next week, too.
To see what others made with their red scraps, go here Saturday morning.

Beautiful finish! I really do like the way the green border ties it all together.
Beautiful! Your 8 inch blocks sure have been made up into some beautiful quilts.
So nice to be so close to a finished quilt. Love the white sashing and cornerstones. Lovely green for borders.
Congrats! on your bright and cheerful completed quilt top. Nicely done!!
You are really putting all those scrappy blocks to use - another lovely quilt and well done.
I love the way you've put the blocks together - such wonderful movement!
It's going to be gorgeous.
VERY pretty - love the rainbow cornerstones . . . well done!!!
Nice rainbow quilt finish. Enjoy the quilt.
Love the way you used four simple blocks and so many colors to give it such great variety. I might do something like that next for next year's RSC, no HSTs to worry about. Congrats on a lovely, lively top.
What fun to see a batch of RSC blocks all assembled! Love the green border - I'm going to remember that idea!
Oh Sheila, it is just so pretty! You really did a great job of putting it all together just right. Congratulations!
Way to go!
Very nice balance of colors. The cornerstones are the perfect addition.
What a happy quilt! The white sashing and green borders were inspired choices.
Its absolutely gorgeous Sheila. You just can't go wrong with white sashing and rainbow cornerstones with a rainbow quilt.
Congratulations on a lovely finish!
So pretty!!!! Grass green is one of my favorite colors! Nice choice for your border! Hope to see you tomorrow, and guess what?! I don't have to work tonight so maybe I won't be exhausted! Hooray!!
